Project Overview

CV-19 Grantmaking strategic planning analytics (Phase 1)

An atlas of COVID-19 era need and philanthropic response in the Delaware Valley Region


June, 2020


Where have Delaware Valley philanthropies allocated emergency COVID-19 resources, and how do those resources align with need? In this, the first Phase of a larger project, a series of strategic planning analytics have been designed to help stakeholders target future grantmaking where it is most in need.


Visit County Reports above to investigate the geography of grantmaking and need regionally and by county. Visit the About page for more information on this ongoing project.

Strategic planning overlay map


The goal of the map below is to help stakeholders target future grantmaking. Darker shades of blue show Census tracts where there is more relative need, here defined by a Social Vulnerability index, than relative grantmaking. Stakeholders may wish to invest more in these places. Shades of white indicate alignment between relative need and grantmaking. Darker shades of red are places where grantmaking is in relative excess. See the County Reports section for more in-depth strategic planning analysis.

About this project


The purpose of this Phase 1 COVID-19 regional data dashboard is to support a more informed and coordinated, regional response among philanthropic funders by providing information on: What the needs are for philanthropic funding, where that need is, who is receiving aid, how & when major relief funds are responding.


The grants data that appears on this page comes from a host of philanthropies who reported the address, domain of interest and other information for their COVID-19 grantmaking activities. We were able to successfully georeference 90% of these grants. The remainder of the data used was collected from a host of Federal sources (see table below).</p?

Phase 2 will increase the number of grants in the analysis. We are also developing a more robust and interactive set of planning and mapping tools for this project. Stay tuned!
